I would disagree with this assumption. Does Tressel have a nose for smelling out under the radar recruits-Malcolm Jenkins, Anderson Russel,etc? Of course he does. Does this mean your average 2 or 3 star recruit is as talented as your average 4 or 5 star recruit-no, it does not. If all 2 or 3 star recruits were as talented, on average, as 4/5 star recruits, schools like Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Iowa State would be competetive for the conference title every year w/ schools like OSU, Texas, scUM, Florida,etc.

(I had a HUGE explanation of what I meant, trying to justify the meaning of my statment, but as I typed I started confusing even myself, so I decided to save the rest of you the same headache :wink2: )


I probably should have stated "in and of itself - star rankings are generally a poor way to gage a recruits skill level", then I might have saved myself this far too long-winded explanation of the intent of my original post. :biggrin: (which I have since deleted anyway)...hmmm, maybe that still doesn't get to the heart of my intent. "For Coaching Staffs..." Aw, screw it. I'll shut up now. I'm going home.

Yes, I think it is really ignorant to have people who pretend they are Ted Ginn, Troy Smith, etc... on myspace. I even saw a COACH TRESSEL! I mean do you actually think Coach Tressel has time for myspace? Myspace is for kids and young adults. People ask if it's really him too! There are a few that are real on there though. But it's pathetic I agree.

#22 - An honest offer sheet is more telling of a recruit's ability, talent, and potential than ANY ranking from a "recruiting guru"

THAT'S! what I meant...I think. :biggrin:


#24) Division III Fullbacks can turn out to be good enough go top 5 in the NFL Draft.

True.........that why I usually don't mess with people that "say" they are a recruit. I do however have a couple friends who I know personally that are indeed the real person and are getting college attention. Even some of the stuff they put on there, I'm sure colleges would frown upon.
